 Thursday

Rainy misty morning with few people around when we set out at 9.00 a.m. to walk to the faro (lighthouse) at the end of the earth. 7 km round trip.

The peace pole at Faro.

Returned to Finisterre and met up with our Spanish friends Maria, Lucia and Lola for lunch. Maria's boyfriend Floris from Amsterdam was there too.

First course scallops to share, then two large pans of lobster and rice, ensalada mixta, bread and 2 bottles of Albarino. This is the same restaurant we went to with Australian Eric last time we were in Finisterre.
Afterwards coffee and cake at a cafe in the square.

Later Lucia and Teresa taxied to the beach and the other four walked there.

    Hello Lyn here. Wasn't sure how to change the anonymous. It seemed to want more than just your name. Sounds like you are enjoying your trip. Hope the feet remain in good health. Been cold and wet here but Spring finally peeking through, first flowers on Kowhai. All good here as far as I know. Hope the rest of your trip goes well. Lyn

The horse is looking for a carrot at the end of the tour. Brother and sister posing as 'stupid people'. Erin and I wearing our purchases from Chania market. Practicing a pose. So many posers among the tourists.

 Had 3 lovely days in London with Aidan. Unfortunately Steve had a bad case of air sickness which slowed him down a bit. Highlights for us were dinner at the Queens Head, the visit to Little Venice and the Agatha Christie spoof Murder of Coarse. Always enjoy live theatre. Erin and Brian enjoyed their Buckingham Palace tour and I enjoyed visiting the Barbican and Guild Hall art gallery with Aidan before we all met up and took the ferry to Greenwich and the docklands railway back. Friday we headed up to Leamington Spa through the Cotswolds. Had 3 nice days with Patrick Emma and George, and Stan the dog of course. Dinner out at the Drawing Board on Saturday night and Warwick Castle, Hatton Locks and Stratford on Avon on Sunday. Two nights in Liverpool followed. Fairly wet and windy. We enjoyed a visit to the Western Approaches exhibit recommended by Emma. At Runnymede tonight before our flight to Athens tomorrow. We walked along the Thames to the Magna Carta memorial. A lovely walk in spi

 Sunday. Raining on and off. We had bought a few supplies at the supermercado yesterday so made ourselves muesli fruit and yoghurt breakfast and went out for coffee and croissant about 10.30. After lunch, between showers we walked along the promenade to the little beach at the end. Muxia is a lovely town. Enjoying it in spite of the rain. Photo above. We hope to climb this rocky hill at the other end of town before we leave tomorrow - weather dependent: Our apartment is on the third floor in the white building to the right of the red building at left side of above photo. Monday Once we checked out of apartment we walked along the waterfront and back then found the tourist information office and got our Muxia certificate. We were able to leave our packs there while we visited the church and climbed the rocky hill above the town. After some lunch at As Baleas we picked up our packs and caught the 2.15 pm bus back to Finisterre. €1.30. The bar opposite Cafe Berlin Madrid on Rua Real. Both
